I had the pleasure of being taught by Kyle at The Boarding School last April, the man is very nice and you can honestly tell by his personality that he really loves wakeboarding. He went out on the last set of the day and he has a lot of style when he rides. Check out his new vid "The pro that never was" http://www.alliancewake.com/wake/the...hat-never-was/

Saw the video last night - I think Alliance did a great job with it (their coverage of our sport just keeps getting better and better IMO). Kyle seems like a very humble and nice person (consistent with the rest of the guys at The Boarding School). I found it a little sad that he missed his pro "window" due to things out of his control (ie. the economy at the time), but its great to see that he's still involved in the sport.

Great video! Unfortunately there's a lot of "pro" riders in similar situations. It a rare and refreshing change of pace to have someone come out and say they're not a pro but so obviously ride at that level. (sorry if this kicks of the discussion of what is a pro)

Met Kyle a couple times over the years, really nice guy. Shreds better than most.
